From an early age, I’ve been drawn to spirituality and the sense that there is far more to life than meets the eye. Spirituality gave me a sense of hope and meaning, especially during the darker chapters of my life.

My childhood wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. My parents were fighting their own battles, and I was handed a diagnosis of a chronic, progressive muscle disease. So yes, I got an early crash course in resilience, empathy, and the art of finding light in unlikely places.

As a kid, I dreamed of becoming an inventor (thank you, American movies, for that slightly unrealistic image of lab coats and eureka moments) or a writer. Then I discovered anthropology, where I could combine my love of writing, learning from people through interviews, and researching the questions I had about life. If you are curious about my academic work, click here.

While I was busy building my academic career, I was also trying to make sense of my past. I did a lot of talking and analysing and very little actual feeling. You could say I was living quite cheerfully in my head. Or maybe not so cheerfully.

It wasn’t until I ventured into the world of coaching, breathwork, and all things “alternative” that I discovered the radical act of actually feeling my feelings. Somewhere along the way, I realised that in order to let go, you first have to hold on — just long enough to truly feel what’s there.

Over the past few years, I’ve trained, learned, unlearned, and grown into the person I am today. I decided to step out of academia and become a coach, where I now support others by weaving together my analytical background, the wisdom of my own story, and the many trainings I have completed over the past years. I bring curiosity, intelligence, compassion, and a slightly mischievous sense of humour into my work.

I am all about holding space for the full spectrum of the human experience. And life has taught me that far more is possible than we might believe.

Oh, and I love Scandinavia (that's where all the pictures on my website come from).
